    Torque converter size

    What is it set to ? 10* is fine for a stock motor but not a modified on. If its got a 484" or 509" purple shaft in it, its gonna want 16* to 20* initial.

    Needing Expert Advice!

    yes the 4" offset is to much. You will need to cut one side down, have the axle cut and resplined and probably but new wheels

    descent converter on the cheap?

    2 places I see people all ways go cheap, Converters and Headers. I dont understand it. Thousands of dollars spent on the rest of the car and then use a $200 converter that slips on the top end and a set of headers you have to beat in with a hammer.

    which is a beter converter

    efficiency is just as important as stall speed. A cheap converter may stall were you want it but if it slips under load it wont pull hard. Theres a lot more specs needed to pick the right converter. all the cam specs, timing, compression, tire size, gearing, car weight. Its best to call a...

    Decisions = 904 vs. 727

    Not all 904s have the low gear set. Only the later A999s usually late 70s-early 80s. The 904 takes about 30hp less to spin. The best upgrade I ever made to my Barracuda was swapping the 727 to s 904 with a 2.74 fist gear and a good converter. I saw use the 904.

    later 70s to mid 80s A999, (lock up tranny's) for sure. Maybe a500 overdrives ? A&A transmissions have new one but they are $300

    torque converter question

    The stock ones have a part # I think. I know Turbo Action has a part # on theres and if you call they can tell you everything about it. when it was built what the specs are and if its been back for a rebuild.

    What converter to use?

    I think its got 12s in it without changing expensive parts. If you do change the converter Ive used the 10" Dynamic converter behind a 440 and it worked great

    What converter to use?

    If the cam is that small you dont need a high stall speed. You may pick up from a new converter being more efficient on the top end though (less slip) I think all you need is some tuning. Verify your timing then start playing with the carb.

    What converter to use?

    we need some more info. Cam, intake compression. Gearing and tire size. If bringing it up on the stock converter makes it 60ft worse it sounds like its a traction issue and more converter would hurt. Or bringing it up on the converter is causing a stumble so you need to work the ignition and...

    8.25 with 3:23 gears going to 3:91 feed back please

    To stall or not?

    I ran a 8" 4500 stall in my Barracuda with no problem. Huge cam, 3.91 gears and a low 1st in the 904. It all depends on what your idea of streetable is. I plan on running the Lunati version of the XE256 in the Duster.
